Just so no one gets their hopes up on Engelland, he is what he is - depth guy, tough, good teammate...
From my colleague and from someone who knows the Pens better than pretty much anyone outside the organization (and some within), @MikeColligan:
"...insane money for a 3rd pairing defenseman with minimal upside..."

Everyone knows what he is Cral - they need a physical #6 D. Who cares about the money? Seriously, why does anyone care? They have NO CHANCE of approaching the cap anytime soon. None.
They saved term by giving dollars. Term is way more important right now, IMO
And he won't impact the price of any other players.
